Our Horses
Great bravery, intelligence, athleticism and beauty are all characteristics which you are sure to find in a LongRun thoroughbred. When a horse comes to LongRun we conduct a caring and thoughtful examination in order to best determine what discipline the horse is most suitable for and to plan a course of retraining, if applicable.
